Drake has hip-hop media talking with his new interview with TikTok personality, influencer and podcast host Bobbi Althoff. The rapper discusses his disdain for "storied journalists" and why he prefers to speak with streamers.

Music journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy reacts to Drake's interview and delves into the rapper's history with the media (including his fall out with Rolling Stone in 2014) and why he prefers to stay out of hip-hop after his battle with Kendrick Lamar.
